Miserable to happy.
Brian's lifestyle change is a clear message to many of us :)
I have been offgrid on my land 7 years now . Started in a camper . Now i have a modern offgrid cabin . Love it .
I’m living off of 1200 a month and building my wealth to live off the road and explore the USA and the national parks.
Brian sent his neighbor a choc chip cookie via drone!!! Now how cool is that lol😁😁😁
A hot one and its stayed warm, lol...what a dream neighbor, lol...
And a breakfast bagel.:)
Love Brian's channel ! The wall tent/wood stove camping videos he did are great,.. as is the evolution of his mountain property. Plus, he's a really nice, down to earth guy. We all miss Sierra. All the best for the future to you Brian !
I'm doing it back to front. I have a little house on my own land in the mountain valley desert. Now I'm looking for a small RV to travel and see this beautiful country and the US as well. One day I will make it to Quartzsite. :)
Jon in rural BC, Canada
In quartzsite now
Been a mellow winter season but lots of sunny nice days.
Hang in there up in BC
We’ll keep the lights on for ya down here 🌵🌵
Have followed both channels and have learned a lot. I have lived full time on the road in a truck camper and on 3acres of riverfront property and I am done with both. 61 years old and I enjoy more creature comforts than I thought. Property flooded out three times in a year and law enforcement was getting unbearable on the road trating me like a second class citizen.
I'm back in an upscale nice neighborhood which is as quiet as the 3 acres belive it or not. The long hot showers is what I missed the most.
Brian is awesome very knowledgeable of Northern AZ - I really enjoy his channel - thank you BOB!!
Thanks Bob looking forward to the second part of this video
Me too.🙂
Having watched both of you for years, it's fun to see you together! And such a bittersweet pleasure to see Sierra. We homestead in northern New Mexico, transplants from SW Colorado. As much as I loved Colorado, the regulations, crowding (and cost) just became too much. Now, I live off-grid on very remote 80 acres, capture 3000 gal. of rainwater and live in a strawbale/adobe home. Thanks for another great vid.
Looking forward to part 2. Thanks!
Hello from Michigan ❤️ just closed on 10 acres in Mancelona, mancelona township with no zoning can't wait for warmer weather 🎉🌞 your help is great thank you 👍🏻
Hello I got property just north of Cadillac acerage
Awesome! I recently purchased 2 acres of property an hour out of Dallas. It's 5 minutes from a huge lake, and I have a small pond on my property.
I have a school bus I'm converting that I'll live. I'm hoping to be there full-time by year end.
I'm so looking forward to living in the country and off grid 😊
I’m in Texas! Where did you buy land? Seller financing, cash, or loan?
East Texas is such a great place. 👍
Is it out by Gun Barrel City?
Thanks for introducing me to Brian's channel.
Thank you. I've been needing more inspiration. Two years ago I was abandoned by my husband and I thought my dream if traveling was over. I bought a 1990 21ft Winnie and I've been renovating it completely ever since.....while living in it! I'm on family property and I have acres to share if any of my nomad family comes through southeast Louisiana or ms gulf coast and would like a place to park in exchange for a little bit of assistance with my rv. I had the roof entirely replaced and I have a few electrical issues to correct. I am just itching to get out there and travel before I'm unable to do so. With the state of our world right now, it's wise to secure a home base, away from the masses. I'm so thankful that I have family property for that, but, I'm thinking it might also be wise to have a small property in another location, just in case. Time to start saving up for that.
I found Brian's channel years ago. He was alone with his dog, wintering in his tent. Seems like he was doing it to challenge himself. Over the years I've watched him refine his mission. A great interview here but Brian did not reveal the hardship and perseverance that he had to withstand including the ill health of his dog, and his own health was severely challenged, he could have died. He went to many doctors and was misdiagnosed. He finally diagnosed himself.
Yes I definitely recommend a weekend watching all the videos in this channel
Yes we followed along as well
We loved Sierra and we are overjoyed he recovered his health
We never miss a video of his homestead life
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm really happy things have taken a turn for the better. It was a rough go of it for a few years. Enjoy the rest of your day! ~ Brian
It does look like he got healthy.And he sounds happy and good advice
Brian and Sierra are the salt of the earth!!
Nomadic life is so interesting watching people live off grid away from society ❤❤❤❤ seem 2 be at peace with themselves
I remember watching Brian in the Tent....
& I really liked how he rehabbed his trailer....
I'm getting ready to move and live near Quartzite, Arizona on the Colorado River. CAN'T WAIT! Even during the summer, hot dry temps will feel so good to these old bones!!! And 4 wheeling in the desert? Outstanding! Have a nice day. Roy, So Cal!
Hey congrats!! We’re here right now
Love it
We will be buying land up In Yavapai county real soon
Love AZ 🌵
My husband and I have been living in QUARTZSITE for three years. Move from Oregon. We love it.
I’m glad Bob is coming around to the idea of people owning a homestead. I’ve always had land even though I been a nomad my whole adult life. It’s nice to have a place to store things and go to that yours..
I ❤ Brian he’s awesome and smart.
and cute, lol...
I’m so happy that he was able to do this. I’m envious too.
His journey is interesting.
Good job Brian I have followed your channel for a long time you are quite the survivalist!!
Watching this channel and Brian’s channel were two of the main resources I watched before I got on the road in 2020-21. Great to see this collaboration
Sierra is there! Oh, baby girl! Nice, Brian.
Great interview, I always enjoy the collaboration between Bob and Brian! I follow both channels and they are quite inspirational. I relate to the feeling like a sell out in the corporate world and ultimately left a couple of years ago. Also looking to buy land, sell my house and hit the road part time. This is a great way to live the best of both worlds I think. Amen to discipline and frugality!
Great job, I love this. I think having your own land is a great way to go.
I’ve been a fan of Brian for a while, he has a great channel.
Yes can't wait to get out there still in sticks and bricks but hopefully will get out on road before too old to travel 😅
Thanks to you both for giving us more answers to this great topic. Loved this video.
Mostly I subscribe to women nomads’s channels. Brian’s and Bob’s channels are the two guys I watch. Brian is living my dream. Making my husband watch to convince him. Making my husband watch Bob’s channel also, since that is closer to our reality.
Yay, Brian! Great channel!! 🙌🏼✌🏼👏🏼
Thanks Bob
Where I live , this is how our grandparents did it. Start out small and simple , and build it up bit by bit. Now this is all illegal around here. Young people have to buy a built home or build a home to code starting out with a minimum debt of half a million. The older generation say the youngens don't work hard enough or don't know how to save but they dont understand how different it is today. When I was young a farm hand's wage could buy a family size home and the wife never had to go to a paid job. These days two high paying wages and no kids you can only buy a flat. My friends and I are all looking for places like this where opportunity still exists. Great video ! I have just subbed to Brian's channel 😄
Exactly right! Even when I was a kid, men could support their family AND have health insurance (non-union) and the wife didn't have to work. That seemed to change mid-1960's. Anyone else opinion by memory?
You just have to want it. We are all pretty spoiled with opportunity.
Yes! This is the nitty gritty info we need. I'm 57, never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up, so never got stuck in marriage, kids, or corporate, so also never made real money. Now I see how it is in this Matrix and I'm actually pretty glad. Now I'm ramping up to early retirement in 4 years, and I'm spending this time tying up all loose ends and deciding on a rig. I'm pretty sure I can live on $1200/month in a van or SUV. I do want to buy some land here in NC just as a base before I go. Thank you so much for this education!
Thanks for sharing and visiting Brian, been following him for years. I need to make a trip out to see him one of these days
I've been subscribed to Brian's channel for a couple of years...very enjoyable and you can learn a lot. Nice video Bob.
Thanks for the information. Nice set up
Wow, Brian may have just saved me thousands on my off grid dream in Cochise County, Arizona, with his 55 gal septic piece of information. I’ll have to look into that.
Also, I’ve seen Brian’s videos and was amazed how someone could live in a tent with that much snow. He was having a weight loss problem, probably because of the cold but seems to be doing better now. Thanks for the great information Bob and Brian.
So depressing. I live in New York and the codes and zoning make living off grid nearly impossible. It's so sad because i love NY and want to stay here but as I get closer to retirement, it appears more and more that I'm going to have to leave to find what I'm dreaming about.
I am in PA and feel the same way.
My family is here, including new grandchild, but I want out of such a controlled environment.
Food for thought.
I live in NY and bought a 3 family house. My area will be small but ss will only be 1300 so I need tenants to pay my living expenses
Good idea.
I read a book years ago. It said once you buy a house never sell it. Turn it into a rental and have the rent pay it off. Then the rent will contribute to your retirement income. I have done this. It is working well.
Sorry to here about NY and PA. I hoped to find something reasonably close to the city and NJ bc of family. I know how I want to live, needs and footprint small, quietly and simply with nature. Economics and government insist on a different lifestyle so we consume so others can profit. I am an easterner, can't imagine moving west, but .....
You have to get enough land so noone cna see what you're doing on it and have it well fenced. That's what I do any noone has bothered me. Go where the people aren't.
I watching this guy for a while, he is one of the people who has got my back travelling ❤
Love his channel ❤ Very informative and funny! Hope to be off grid within the next 5yrs. You gotta watch him deliver breakfast to his neighbor via drone! 😂 ❤RIP Sierra😢
Great to see this!!! It's doable.
Now this video is my kind of video down to earth❤ thank you
Nice job. May the good Lord watch over you and your family and friends. Peace and Love 😊
Astonishing video. I'm astonished.
Excellent.
Thank you

Awesome video! Thank you❤
An inspirational Journey My Friend, Many Thanks 🙏 for Sharing 🙏
Great video gentlemen!
So interesting. Inspiring guy.
Long Live Sierra!!!!
Yep RIP sweet pup
How do you meet people? I've been toying with the idea of buying land in a remote(ish) area and can't get over the fact that I'll feel lonely. How does one make friends or meet a significant other in a situation like this?
What a great message. It proves almost everyone is capable of buying land. It is fascinating how they cooperatively co-manage the neighborhood. To do it otherwise, invites the Government into your life to do it for you. Powerful message here.
Building codes and usage regulations make it tough for low income homesteading.
It should not be a crime to sleep anywhere. What harm does a sleeping person do to anyone?
Live and let live is a thing of the past. The norm now is you must live as I do.
Where my home base is, there was little regulation up until the 2000's. The result is you can have a million dollar house next door to an old mobile home.
We all get along just fine. Now that the area is growing, there are more rules made by those who want to regulate others.
I wanted to live in alternative slower pace lifestyle since 10 years ago. And I let myself be influenced by other people, and never fully took the plunge. I’ve forgiven myself for that, but I’m doing it this time, and there is no turning back!
Followed Brian for years. He’s a killer dude! Give him a Sub 🤘🍻
Thanks for encouragement.
Love this story 👍👍👍
Great interview!
Thank you Bob
Really informative 😃
Very informative! Thank you very much!
Great video
Congrats to Brian and I love his channel - especially when he goes exploring the ancient areas. I am definitely looking for land but no way do I want any of that evil white stuff ever on it 😂 I grew up in central NY and lived there for too long. Not easy finding unrestricted land in warmer places but I’m looking! Determination is key to any dream ❤
Hold the vision. It will happen.
We’re doing the same
We may stick to Mojave county
Bit warmer
We love Brian’s channel
Realtors that live in the same area you are looking can be a wealth of knowledge. Mine gave me a packet with all the zoning rules. She also told me that the county will not come out unless someone files a complaint.
I’m so proud of him
There are many property lots and acres of land to buy for your home base.
Live in your car or van and start Saving money ❤
Love the vid!
This was great haha!
Awesome, thank you Bob!! ❤
Hello Brian 👋
thats so kool ived been thankin bouts livin off grid ..i grew up on a farm.
in many, many counties around the USA, you can't sleep in an RV more than a certain number of nights on your own land. it's like a Covenant, a sort of permanent HOA that has legal consequences. around Bandon/Bend OR the realtors will insist that the law will never be enforced, but it's still something to consider because you never really have full control of your land in those areas.
Excellent and very helpful vid!
There seems to be an evolution of RUclips vanlifers from the road to the land. Many are buying land in northern Arizona. I was nomadic for about seven years before buying land. I plan on building a cabin/tiny house since most Arizona counties limit how long you can live in a trailer or RV. Luckily most counties don't check.
Great video, Bob.
Thank you for sharing this! ❤
Beautiful ❤
Beautiful 🎉🎉🎉🎉
It seems that several have sold their homes for the nomad life, only to buy a home base anyway.
I watch several channels and most of them own property. I might own some later, after the housing crash, but not before.
Location.
I was talking to a lady, native of mid-Florida. Said she wanted to downsize. She Was thinking about moving to eastern West Virginia. I live in eastern West Virginia. I told her to forget that plan.....the suburban MD. DC, and VA people have now priced us out. If I sell my house, I'll never be able to re-buy it. Only owned it 10 years and it has 100% increase. I suggested southern and western West Virginia as long as the water wasn't polluted or subject to flooding. Some of those areas still have basic land as long as a person doesn't want luxury nor good roads.
What housing crash it's not going to happen inflation is too high to much money chasing to few goods there's no workers out here in California to build
Thank you
We lived in Colorado for 16 years, was regulated to death. We moved to Texas and found our homestead and no code enforcement.
I've been researching cheap land for a long time and finding a spot is challenging. Most of those plots under a couple of acres belong to a development, which has CC&Rs. Plus you have local codes and they are cracking down on off grid people. It seems the best thing is to go in with a bunch of like minded people, buy a chunk of land that isnt part of a development, form an LLC to manage the land/resolve disputes, and go that route...
Hey bob I just watched the movie nomads on Hulu. I had no idea you were on it!!! Amazing job
Great video!
No alternative source of income is what keeps me from living a life where I am self-reliant and free to choose.
What truth he was speaking I feel the same thing working #corporate is like selling your soul😢😢😢😢
You still looking good Bob!
Loved this video and now I want to go check out that area!
Very informative
